title: Some properties of the apoenzyme of NADPH-adreno-ferredoxin reductase from bovine adrenocortical mitochondria.
abstract: 1. An apo-NADPH-adreno-ferredoxin reductase (EC 1.18.1.2) was obtained from bovine adrenocortical mitochondria and its physicochemical properties were investigated. 2. The effects of various substances such as NADPH, FAD and adreno-ferredoxin on the interaction of the apo-reductase were investigated by various column chromatographies. 3. The apo- and holo-reductases were found to be separated by adreno-ferredoxin affinity chromatography. 4. The removal of FAD from NADPH-adreno-ferredoxin reductase did not affect the net charge of the reductase. 5. The values of s20,w of apo- and holo-reductases were 3.8 x 10(-13) sec and 3.9 x 10(-13) sec, respectively. 6. The apo-reductase was more easily denatured by heat treatment than the holo-reductase. 7. FAD, and adreno-ferredoxin and both could protect the apo-reductase from thermal inactivation.
